Remembering The Past: More On The Rahway Lodge, No. 1075

RAHWAY-This is continued from my last column: In June 1921, Rahway Elks Lodge No. 1075 purchased the Mershon property adjoining their home to accommodate the fast growing membership, which now numbered 650. Plans were completed for a lodge room 45 by 65 feet that was modern in every detail. The planned club facilities consisted of bowling alleys, billiard tables, library, lounging rooms, a ladies’ parlor, and a dining room.
